EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Ichikawa Danjuro V in the role of Soga no Goro, disguised as a Komuso monk in the play "Sakai-cho Soga Nendaiki," performed at the Nakamura Theater in the first month of 1771 in Japan. The Edo period (1603-1868) was a time of rich artistic expression, and this print is a testament to the artistic school of the eighteenth century. The intricate details of Danjuro V's costume are on full display, from his beige hosoban robe and the distinctive basket hat, to his carriage boots with geta-style soles. The actor's face is expressive and full of emotion, as he masterfully portrays the disguise of Goro Tokimune. The print is a multisheet composition, with each sheet meticulously carved and then carefully aligned to create a cohesive image. The use of color woodblock printing is evident in the vibrant hues of the print, with the beige robe and the deep colors of the hat and boots standing out against the muted background. The concept of disguise was a common theme in Japanese drama during this period, and this print provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Edo period entertainment and fashion. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection, and a testament to the artistic heritage of Japan. It is a reminder of the rich history of the arts in Asia, and the enduring influence of the artistic traditions of the continent.
